CASA ST3 is situated in the Ses Torres neighbourhood, within the municipality of Santa Eulalia del Río, on the island of Eivissa. The house occupies a corner plot, which allows for an optimal relationship with the views and natural light, whilst optimising the use of space in accordance with the geometry of the site. Its ‘V’-shaped layout responds to the shape of the plot and the functional requirements of the house, creating a fluid and efficient spatial organisation.

The ‘V’ shape is defined by a central courtyard that acts as a central axis, not only allowing for adequate circulation of light and air, but also linking the different volumes of the house. This courtyard, situated at the angle of the ‘V’, becomes a visual and functional hub that creates a direct connection between the interior and exterior areas. At the apex of the ‘V’ lies the vertical circulation shaft connecting all levels of the house.
The basement houses the property’s technical spaces: the garage, water tanks and plant rooms. This level is kept separate from the living areas, providing the necessary functional support without interfering with the aesthetics and design of the house’s main areas.
The ground floor is characterised by a spacious, open-plan area that integrates the living room, dining room and kitchen into a single open-plan space. This design encourages social interaction and maximises natural light, enhanced by the large windows overlooking the central courtyard and the outdoor areas. This level also features two toilets, one for internal use and another external service toilet, intended for the pool area, garden and terrace. In addition, a study is incorporated into this level, providing a flexible space for work or leisure. Two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, complete the ground floor layout, offering a high degree of privacy and comfort.
On the first floor is the master suite, which is organised as a separate volume within the overall layout of the property. This level comprises the master bedroom, a dressing room, a spacious en-suite bathroom and a private terrace extending outwards, complemented by a small swimming pool, creating an intimate and exclusive area with stunning views. This floor also houses a private relaxation area, further enhancing the sense of privacy and comfort.
Finally, the roof level is dedicated to a solarium, an outdoor leisure area that maximises the panoramic views of the island and allows residents to enjoy the Mediterranean climate. This space acts as a transitional element between the home and the surrounding landscape, a natural extension of the home towards the sky and its surroundings.
The architectural style of CASA ST3 is modern, with a minimalist approach that prioritises functionality and the aesthetics of clean lines. A palette of contemporary materials is used, including elements such as glass and concrete, combined with the interplay of open and enclosed spaces, achieving a harmonious relationship with the landscape. The design optimises the orientation of the house, providing shade and natural ventilation in the outdoor areas and fostering a constant connection between the interior spaces and the natural surroundings.
The swimming pool, terrace and garden, situated in the outdoor area, are designed to blend naturally into the landscape, whilst providing areas for rest and relaxation that reinforce the sense of continuity between indoors and outdoors.
